Because of recent years increase in violent Nazi movements in Scandinavia, Swedish politicians and law enforces seriously discussing the banning of runes and their use. This is because those Nazi bastards are using runes as symbols since swastikas have been illegal for many years to wear.

While I can understand the reason, I don't think this is the right way to go. After all, runes are part of our cultural heritage and there are people wearing runes for different reason than being Nazi.

But on the other hand... This is the reason why I myself don't work with runes and Norse gods. Since I feel this current have been heavily tainted by the misuse of Nazis and rightards the last century or so. This taint is also easy to notice in a lot of contemporary Scandinavian occultism.

Still it makes me sad. And I'm more angry at the Nazis than at the politicians and policemen...
